摘要
本视频介绍了”Sweat 16”腿部训练计划——一套来自 AthleanX 的以”三月疯狂”为主题的循环训练挑战。Jeff Cavaliere 以 NCAA 篮球锦标赛结构为灵感，演示了一套采用淘汰晋级赛制的腿部循环训练，并以定时回合模拟投篮时钟。该训练被设计为一套高强度下肢挑战，随着回合推进逐步淘汰部分动作。
要点
- 训练以晋级赛制循环的方式进行，参照 NCAA 锦标赛赛制，每轮推进时淘汰部分动作
- 完整的”Sweet 16”回合包含四个动作组成的巨型循环，须在 2 分 20 秒内完成（基于 35 秒”投篮时钟” × 4）
- “Elite 8”回合缩减为两个动作——跳箱和弓步跳——须在 1 分 10 秒内完成
- “决赛”回合要求在 35 秒投篮时钟内完成 20 次跳箱
- 硬拉重量设定为体重的 75%（Jeff 体重 170 磅，使用 135 磅）
- 若无法在时限内完成某一回合，则重复该回合，直至通过或放弃
- 目标是在单次训练中完成整个晋级表，将腿部训练与上肢推、上肢拉及腹部训练相结合
动作详解
硬拉
- 目标肌群： 后链肌群（腘绳肌、臀肌、下背部）
- 次数： 12 次
- 负重： 体重的 75%
- 动作要点：
- 以髋部发力驱动
- 全程保持头部与肩部抬起
- 常见错误： 髋部偏移，或头部与肩部前倾下垂
跳箱
- 目标肌群： 股四头肌、臀肌、小腿（爆发力）
- 次数： 20 次
- 动作要点： 爆发性起跳，落地动作受控
- 备注： 该动作贯穿全部三个回合，并作为最终的单独挑战
瑞士球腘绳肌弯举
- 目标肌群： 腘绳肌
- 次数： 15 次
- 动作要点：
- 全程保持髋部桥式抬起
- 不允许髋部下沉，维持强力的 posterior chain 激活
弓步跳
- 目标肌群： 股四头肌、臀肌、髋屈肌
- 次数： 20 次
- 动作要点： 爆发性起跳，双腿在分腿站姿下交替换腿
回合结构概览
| 回合 | 动作 | 时限 |
|---|---|---|
| Sweet 16 | 硬拉 + 跳箱 + 瑞士球弯举 + 弓步跳 | 2:20 |
| Elite 8 | 跳箱 + 弓步跳 | 1:10 |
| 决赛 | 仅跳箱 | 0:35 |

Summary
This video introduces the “Sweat 16” leg workout, a March Madness-themed circuit training challenge from AthleanX. Jeff Cavaliere demonstrates a progressive elimination-style leg circuit inspired by the NCAA basketball tournament structure, using timed rounds to simulate shot clocks. The workout is designed as a high-intensity lower body challenge that progressively eliminates exercises as rounds advance.
Key Points
- The workout is structured as a bracket-style circuit, mirroring the NCAA tournament format with rounds that eliminate exercises as you progress
- The full “Sweet 16” round includes four exercises performed as a giant circuit, completed within 2 minutes and 20 seconds (based on a 35-second “shot clock” × 4)
- The “Elite 8” round narrows to two exercises — box jumps and split squat jumps — completed within 1 minute and 10 seconds
- The “Final” round challenges you to complete 20 box jumps within a 35-second shot clock
- Weight for the deadlift is prescribed at 75% of bodyweight (Jeff uses 135 lbs at 170 lbs bodyweight)
- If you cannot complete a round within the time limit, you repeat that round until you pass or stop
- The goal is to complete the entire bracket in one single workout, combining legs with upper body push, upper body pull, and abs
Exercise Details
Deadlifts
- Target muscles: Posterior chain (hamstrings, glutes, lower back)
- Reps: 12
- Load: 75% of bodyweight
- Form cues:
- Drive through the hips
- Keep head and shoulders up throughout the lift
- Common mistakes to avoid: Letting the hips drift or dropping the head and shoulders forward
Box Jumps
- Target muscles: Quads, glutes, calves (explosive power)
- Reps: 20
- Form cues: Explosive takeoff, controlled landing
- Note: This exercise survives all three rounds and is the final standalone challenge
Physioball Hamstring Curls
- Target muscles: Hamstrings
- Reps: 15
- Form cues:
- Keep hips bridged up throughout the movement
- Maintain a strong posterior chain activation by not letting the hips sag
Split Squat Jumps
- Target muscles: Quads, glutes, hip flexors
- Reps: 20
- Form cues: Explosive jump, alternating legs in split stance position
Round Structure Summary
| Round | Exercises | Time Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Sweet 16 | Deadlifts + Box Jumps + Physioball Curls + Split Squat Jumps | 2:20 |
| Elite 8 | Box Jumps + Split Squat Jumps | 1:10 |
| Final | Box Jumps only | 0:35 |
